The Upham is a winner!

Liked:The Upham is an exceptional hotel. It has a quiet, unpretentious elegance. The rooms are exceedingly comfortable, well appointed. The grounds are beautifully maintained and give you the impression that you’re far away from the city while being within short walking distance of the best Santa Barbara has to offer. We stayed in one of the cottage suites that had two bedrooms and one and half baths, a sitting area, and a private courtyard with fountain. We slept so well here! It was so quiet! There’s an incredible value here for the cost. We would recommend it to anyone regardless of your type of travel. If you value peace and quiet, good taste, beautiful green grounds, a lovely restaurant, friendly staff, and convenience, this is the place!

Moldy bathroom tiles, bathroom stank of urine

Liked:Multiple problems with our stay — thankfully it was just one night. Moldy shower tiles, a bathroom that smelled like a urinal, paper‑thin walls, and dust and cobwebs in the room. It doesn’t take much effort to remove bathroom mold from grout or clear out cobwebs, and the fact that these things aren't being done says a lot about management’s lack of respect for their guests. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for nice accommodations.

Book at your own discretion

Liked:The vibe at the Upham was just darling. I feel that if this vibe, attention, and care was taken into consideration in different areas such as the room and surrounding spaces, it would enhance the experience. The cost is high so definitely an investment and one that you would assume aligns with the value. Upon arrival, I noticed that the room was not cleaned very well: hair left in the tub, crumbs of food left around the bed, sheets and towels were not washed well etc. I also noticed an odd odor and went to the room’s AC where there appeared to be something that looked like mold… I asked the hotel to please clean this, at the very least. Hotel staff are the backbone of the hospitality industry — I am curious about the conditions they face if the rooms feel rushed and not cleaned very well. Limited parking but that’s just a Santa Barbara thing. You will be asked to move your car at night if you forget your accessible parking pass! Location is ideal for downtown experiences! * I am one to try something out another time before making final judgement (or realizing I need to spend my money elsewhere)…. Maybe the next time I visit, and IF I stay here, I will have a cleaner room.
